ADELE has become the latest celebrity to fall victim to vile 'Twitter trolls' following the birth of her baby boy last week.

Adele was sent threatening messages on the social networking site Twitter []

According to reports, Adele is said to be "ecstatic" by her baby's arrival, however, just minutes after news of the birth of her son was revealed, Adele was sent a series of disturbing messages from vicious users of the social networking site.

One Twitter user, who posted under the alias of Vanessa Bieber, posted: “Adele gave birth to a baby. Is it fat and handicapped lol? Just murder it already lol.”

Another cruelly wrote: “I’ll go see her in the UK and kill her,” while others discussed the singer having material for a new album if the baby died.

Another female Twitter user said: “I see Adele has given birth to a boy. If she randomly picks my baby name I may have to kill her.”

The Rolling In The Deep singer was bombarded with nasty comments discussing how she have more material to write about if she suffered from post-natal depression, while others said they hadn't realised she was pregnant because she is overweight.

I’ll go see her in the UK and kill her

Adele has not yet commented on the birth of her baby.

The 24-year-old is not the first to have been harassed by abusive Twitter users, with X Factor judge Gary Barlow also having found himself the target of cruel trolls after the death of his baby daughter earlier this year.

Star Olympian Tom Daley was forced to involve the police after a Twitter user suggested his late father would have been disappointed by his performance at the London 2012 Olympics.
